Google maps v2 has been deprecated since May 19, 2010 and will stop working on May 19, 2013, so here is a little guide on how to migrate.

On V3 we don’t need an API key, but it’s useful to keep track of your API calls (25,000 free), so to get the API key, log into https://code.google.com/apis/console/, click on services and activate google maps v3, once is done click on API access on the left, and go to Simple API at the very bottom, then click on edit allow referers, and set up like *.mysite.com/* that will allow all your subdomains and folders on your site.

Now that you have your API key, is time to replace the old URL, by the new one:

Now take out addControl, setMapType, now all of these are passed as an object when map is created

For V2 we use these map types G_NORMAL_MAP,G_SATELLITE_MAP,G_HYBRID_MAP on V3 they have been replace by google.maps.MapTypeId.ROADMAP, google.maps.MapTypeId.SATELLITE, google.maps.MapTypeId.HYBRID ,google.maps.MapTypeId.TERRAIN
